With the Tatum ejection, the Sixers ger 3 free throws and now take the lead into the 4th quarter, 97-95.
If this score holds, the NBA will wake up tomorrow morning with the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves as its conference leaders. – 9:31 PM

All things considered — that was one of the worst starts by the #Celtics all season. Allowed 8/11 FG, a put back, turn it over early and often, missed shots inside. 18-18 – 7:50 PM

If it feels like you’ve seen a lot of Celtics-Sixers lately…
Since May 1st, regular season, pre-season and post-season, the Celtics have played 37 games.
There are 15 teams they haven’t played once in that span.
This is their 12th game against the Sixers. – 6:49 PM
